I had a great day today with my oldest son, Josiah. We needed this time together. It can be difficult in the midst of the busy-ness and worry of life to stop and actually engage and enjoy your kids. At least that is how it is for me. I many times allow myself to get so preoccupied with so many other things, that I never even take the time to look my children in the eyes and give them Daddy's full attention. And so day after day they are hungering for Daddy's affection, but Daddy's too engaged or weighed down by everything else to give them what they need.
I have many times talked about the need for the parents to have the hearts of their children, but how is that going to happen if the children don't even have the hearts of their parents.
And so Josiah and I had a boys-day-out.
8:15 am. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit and Hot Cakes from McDonald's. Perfect way to start the day.
Then we headed on down to McCreary County, KY for a hike at Cumberland Falls.
It was awesome.
Beautiful day outside. Wonderful time with my son.
We didn't return home until early to mid afternoon, and shortly thereafter headed to hang out with several men from our church, The Chapel of Somerset. Josiah came with me and was able to play with his friends while I laid the smack down in cornhole (or got smacked around... one or the other :)
Anyway, I'm so thankful for our Daddy-Son day today. I loved it, and I think he did too :0)
